I'm currently working on a solution for LTSP Wireless myself. My plan is: -USB Flash Drive connected to motherboard's USB Headers so that it's not accessible w/o opening the machine. -BIOS configured to boot via USB (this in itself is a big limit on what hardware I can use) -SYSLINUX, kernel and initrd loaded on drive's partition -initrd modified to include madwifi kernel modules and basic wifi tools I've got the kernel booting off my usb drives (took a long time, stupid lack of standards among motherboard manufacturers...). I'm currently working on compiling a custom kernel and madwifi modules. I'd eventually like to add support for WPA-PSK encryption also but initially just want basic unecrypted wifi to work first.
